Environmental engineering covers a broad spectrum of environmental concerns.

This includes water quality and supply, groundwater protection and remediation, wastewater treatment, and addressing indoor and outdoor air pollution.

Additionally, it deals with issues like solid and hazardous waste disposal, ensuring safe drinking water, cleaning contaminated sites, preserving sensitive wetlands, and preventing pollution through product and process design.

The typical first-year provides sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. 

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement at the UoW. 

You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in the Professional Options Program.

The lecturers encourage you to approach them and get involved in industry projects and learning opportunities so you get the most out of your university education.

The engineering students are trained through practical learning experiences, including:

• Laboratory experiments
• Problem-based learning
• Computer simulations
• Teamwork assignments
• Industrial case studies
• Project management
• Site visits to the industry

In your third and fourth year of the major, you will branch into more specialised areas, including: 

Water quality engineering, air and noise pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, environmental engineering design, and site remediation.

• Academic/Official Transcripts
• Language Proficiency (If Applicable)
• Passport or Visa Documents
• Official translations of documents in a language other than English
• Work Experience Documents (If applicable)

Applicants must have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to completing 13 years of schooling in Australia.

To succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. 

This is particularly important for degrees with a strong basis in Mathematics or Science.
